...people of the West. He also hoped to discover a water route to the Pacific Ocean. Jefferson also believed we could learn a lot about the geography of the West, the lives of the Native Americans, the plants and animals, the weather, and how they were different from the East. To lead this journey President Jefferson chose his personal secretary, Meriwether Lewis, a man who had previous skills as a frontiersman. Lewis then chose William Clark, who was known as a great draftsman and frontiersman. Lewis chose Clark as co-commanding captain of the Expedition, even though Clark was never recognized as such by the government. Together they collected a diverse military Corps of Discovery that would be able to undertake a two-year journey to the great ocean. A total of 33 men comprised this group of Explorers. Accompanying the men on this trip was also William Clark's personal slave, York and a female Indian named Sacagawea. The Lewis and Clark expedition started in St. Louis, Missouri.

In the article he begins talking about the struggles that Sacagawea went through during the Luis and Clarke Expedition and ponders whether or not the benefits of colonization are worth the pain and loss caused to others. He comes to the conclusion that Sacagawea and America are contradictions, and makes the reader realize that from so much evil that comes in colonization, there can grow to be so much beauty and brilliance. Alexie’s use of satire, and contrast were helpful and effective in getting his argument across. Alexie’s use of satire in his first paragraph is effective in setting the tone for his entire piece which is a serious on. He begins in the first paragraph with a scenario of a Sacagawea theme park, where the visitor must go through all the trials and tribulations that Sacagawea had to go through. “For the low price of admission, every American” “will be kidnapped…” This not only sets the tone for a serious paper, but also serves the purpose of making the reader think critically about this. He induced in his readers a train of thought and once he did that gave his argument. His use of contrast following helps support his argument as well. Alexie’s use of contrast helps support his thesis that America is a contradiction. His contrast is effective in showing this by placing two figures next to each other, one that is amazing and one that is almost evil. “How did we get from there to here? This country somehow gave life to...
